So.

*BEGS*

Please, please, please tell me that someone out there knows stuff about Romani and Gitans and Calo? Please? Because I have dictionaries and mini-translators and loads of reference (not to mention a Hindi/Gujurati background that feeds in surprisingly well) but I still don't know if the small sentences that I need to churn out are...right.

And if you're Gitan... well, do you speak Calo or Romani? And is it a patois thing? And can I reconcile a French accent with a Southern accent? (Well, actually, yes I can. Just watch me).

Any/all help appreciated!

{ is that colgate in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me? }

HAHAHAHAHA!

Police in Germany arrested a shoplifter who filled his trousers with 39 tubes of toothpaste, authorities in the western town of Dueren said on Wednesday.

The mind boggles! (The last line of that article is fairly worrying).

Also this article is made worthwhile by the best line: "apparently hairy ice isn't a big consumer issue". What amuses me most is that the artcle had to be corrected five minutes later.

ETA: Tubey's ass is reeeally white.
